I am a hereditary jailer, start to suppress the eldest princess

Xiao Ran waved his hand, making him retreat to the side.

Under his puzzled gaze, he used Tian Nu's finger, and five consecutive fingers penetrated into his body.

"What did you do to me?" Lin Yunyi was horrified.

next second.

The pain of concentration came, and the soul and body seemed to be bitten by countless little ants, eating it and then spitting it out, spitting it out and eating it again, and so on.

The severe pain made him roll his eyes, wishing he could die immediately to be free from this inhuman pain.

But he couldn't do it, and his hands and feet were bound with iron chains.

No matter how desperately struggling, it was useless.

"I'm not in a hurry, I have plenty of time to play with you slowly." Xiao Ran was expressionless.

Lin Yunyi was about to go crazy, and he couldn't even say a harsh word.

After 3 minutes without persistence, he couldn't take it anymore, lowered his proud head, and begged for mercy, "Stop it! I beg you, stop it quickly..."

Xiao Ran temporarily relieved his pain.

As if he had been reborn, Lin Yunyi panted heavily, never feeling the air so wonderfully like now.

"Who gave you the answer?" Xiao Ran asked.

"The butler of the residence of the left servant of the Ministry of Rites."

"Department of Rites?" Xiao Ran frowned.

Fu Xianhe worked out the exam questions, and then submitted them to the palace for Emperor Sheng Wen to make a decision. Finally, they were sealed in the Ministry of Rites, and the exam questions would not be taken out until the day of the exam.

"En." Lin Yunyi nodded heavily.

"He sent someone to find us, told us that we had the answers to the exam questions, and asked us if we wanted them. At first, everyone didn't believe them. He said that his master risked his life and copied them from the warehouse of the Ministry of Rites. If the answer is wrong afterwards, we will return double the money.”

"Anything else?" Xiao Ran asked again.

"We changed our minds and dared not deceive us by lending him a few guts. Otherwise, not only would he be unlucky, but even his master would be unlucky too." Lin Yunyi added.

"Do you believe it, my lord?" the captain asked.

Lin Yunyi's complexion changed, fearing that Xiao Ran would be tortured again, he hurriedly said: "What I said is true! There is no lie, if you don't believe me, you can ask other people."

"Have you gone over there to see if there is any result?" Xiao Ran ordered.

The lieutenant leaves.

There were only the two of them left in the cell.

Lin Yunyi played the emotional card, "Since Zheng Qing left, my sister has not thought about tea or food. She shut herself in the room all day and washed her face with tears. I know she must still think about him in her heart. As long as you Don't hold me accountable for the first time, let me go. After returning, I immediately persuaded my father to agree to my sister and Zheng Qing's marriage."

"Do you think of Zheng Qing now?" Xiao Ran sneered.

"how do you feel?"

"No way!" Xiao Ran said.

A punch hit him in the face, knocking him unconscious.

out of the cell.

The captain just returned, and ran over quickly, with a solemn expression: "It's just like what he said."

"Keep them under strict supervision, and don't let any of them go without my order." Xiao Ran ordered.

"It's my lord." The captain replied.

Out of the dungeon.

Looking at Qian Xuan who was coming up to meet him, Xiao Ran said: "Take a team of people and follow me to the house of Zuo Shilang in the Ministry of Rites to get someone."

"It's your lord!" Qian Xuan was very clear about his public and private interests, calling him "my lord" instead of "Brother Xiao".

He took a team of people and followed behind Xiao Ran, and rushed towards the residence of the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites.

Royal Palace.

back yard.

The court meeting had just ended, and Emperor Sheng Wen did not go to the imperial study to continue reviewing the memorials as usual, but wanted to take a walk in the palace to relax.

Standing by the lake, looking at the sightseeing fish swimming in the lake, under the reflection of the sun, the scales of the fish are shining with various colors of rays, which is very gorgeous.

Stretching out his right hand, Eunuch Zhu handed over the prepared fish food.

He took the fish food and sprinkled it.

I saw the fish in the lake swimming over quickly, scrambling for fish food.

"If you want the fish to be obedient, you can't let them eat too much. If you let them eat enough at one time, you will not pay attention to you if you feed them again." Emperor Sheng Wen said meaningfully.

A young eunuch hurried over, whispered a few words in Eunuch Zhu's ear, and then backed off.

"Your Majesty, Lord Fu is here."

"Isn't he invigilating the exam at this time? Why come to the palace when he's free?" Emperor Sheng Wen wondered.

Give the fish food to Eunuch Zhu.

"Give him an order to meet you in the imperial study."

Royal study.

Emperor Sheng Wen sat on the dragon chair and looked at Fu Xianhe, "Why are you in a hurry to see me?"

Fu Xianhe took out the "cloth", handed it to Eunuch Zhu, and explained the matter again.

After listening.

Emperor Sheng Wen's face darkened instantly.

Eunuch Zhu poured his spiritual power into the cloth, and saw that the words on the cloth were all the same. Looking at the answers to the exam questions, Emperor Sheng Wen clenched his palms together.

"Pass my order to investigate this matter strictly!"

"It's Your Majesty!" Fu Xianhe responded.

After getting the answer he wanted, Fu Xianhe left.

After he left, the anger on his face disappeared, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were terribly cold.

"Who is the official of the Ministry of Rites?"

Think about it.

Zhu Gonggong said: "The minister of the Ministry of Rites is about to retire, and he seldom handles official business on weekdays. The Zuo Shilang will preside over it on his behalf. He is a member of His Highness Ninth Prince."

"Let him roll over to see me!" Emperor Sheng Wen said.

Outside the mansion of the left servant of the Ministry of Rites.

Xiao Ran stopped with Qian Xuan and others.

The leading guard looked at them and asked coldly, "This is the residence of the Minister of Rites, Zuo Shilang. What are you doing?"

"Back off!" Xiao Ran scolded.

The other party was unmoved, and the surrounding guards surrounded him instead, looking at Xiao Ran and the others coldly.

"You want to stop it?" Xiao Ran said.

"It's not impossible to enter the mansion, you must have a note from the court, or wait for my master to come back." The guard said.

"Really?" A sneer came from the sky.

Qin Fangzhen descended from the sky and stood beside Xiao Ran.

"Go in and get someone."

"En." Xiao Ran responded.

The guards want to stop them, don't make any moves this time, Qin Fangzhen slapped them all into the air.

Xiao Ran led people into the mansion and arrested the butler.

"Take them back and interrogate them strictly," Qin Fangzhen said.

Seemingly guessing what Xiao Ran was thinking, he explained, "Old Fu informed me that he happened to see you on the way here."

Xiao Ran understood that he might have come out of the palace at this time.

"There's only one person left."

"Who?" Qin Fangzhen asked.

"The left servant of the Ministry of Rites." Xiao Ran said.

"You take him back, and I'll catch him." Qin Fangzhen said.

"En." Xiao Ran nodded.

Take him back to the dungeon.

The captain commanded him to tie him to an iron frame.

Xiao Ran looked at him coldly: "You should know why I arrested you."

"I know." The butler admitted directly.

"Are you saying it yourself, or let me do it?"

"What do you want to know?" the butler asked back.

"Where did you get the answers to the exam papers?" Xiao Ran asked.

"The master gave it to me." The butler said.

"???" Xiao Ran was taken aback.

Things went smoothly, unexpectedly, and there was no torture, so did he confess?Did you directly confess the person behind the scenes?

The captain said: "My lord, this is too direct, isn't it?"

At this time, a team of divine sword guards came in with a middle-aged man under pressure. Judging from the official uniform on his body, he should be the left servant of the Ministry of Rites.

"Deputy Sword Master Qin asked me to hand over the man to you." Zi Jianwei, the leader, said.

Xiao Ran took the person from his hand, and the other person left quickly.

As soon as he was tied up, before he could speak, Zuo Shilang took the initiative to confess: "I stole the exam questions, no one instructed me. I saw the money and wanted to take this opportunity to make a fortune."

"What you say doesn't count." Xiao Ran sneered.

If it's just a housekeeper saying this, although it's suspicious, it's reasonable.

But he is the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, with a high position and authority. He is a high-ranking official, and even punishment is useless, so he has a direct showdown, and there must be something tricky about it.

Just when the sentence was about to be executed, a prison guard rushed over.

Whispered a few words in the captain's ear, and then left.

The captain came up, "My lord, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment is here."

Looking at the left servant of the punishment department and the housekeeper, he pondered for a while, "Take them down."

Footsteps sounded.

Lin Weiyong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, came in from the outside with two followers.

Looking at Xiao Ran standing in the hall, his scrutinizing eyes wanted to see through him completely.

Xiao Ran was also looking at him, with a middle-aged face, a Chinese character face, with fortitude, without anger and prestige.

Just right.

The eyes of the two collided in the air.

Lin Weiyong waved his hand and told his followers to retreat, leaving only the two of them.

"You are Xiao Ran? Zheng Qing's brother?"

"If there is no one with the same name and surname, it must be me." Xiao Ran said.

"Sit." Lin Weiyong pulled out the chair and sat down.

Xiao Ran sat opposite him.
